• Strong Sales Cloud administration and Flow skills, including data management and the Salesforce security model.
• Practical experience writing and troubleshooting Apex and SOQL, maintaining existing code and creating meaningful tests.
• Experience gathering requirements, explaining technical choices clearly and working directly with business users.

Experience and education

• Four or more years of progressive Salesforce experience, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
• Salesforce Administrator certification required. Platform Developer I or Platform App Builder certification is an asset.
• Bilingual proficiency in French and English, both written and spoken, due to interactions with internal and external stakeholders.
